Hi,
I've recently looked at a fault with an intermittently tripping RCD at a property for a landlord I do the odd job for.

I have Drayton motorised valves for my central Heating and hot water in an S Plan configuration. However, I have had several failures of the microswitches in these valve where they've not switched off and so left the pump and boiler running. This leads to the boiler over heating and so tripping...

I had a problem a couple of days ago with my boiler shutting down due to too high temperature difference between the input and output, which transpired to be because the boiler had been wrongly wired.
I have two zones in my heating system, so as I understand it there should be 5 wires between...
So a customer changed his own stat and wired it wrong and blew 3/4 fuses. Then heating was stuck on so I changed the programmer and this resolved the problem so I think the short circuit had damaged programmer.
Now 5 days later the the hot water isn’t heating haven’t been yet. All I can guess...
